That’s the traditional Italian manner. Molto bene!

I don’t know that it’s franchise fatigue as much as having Call of Duty: Warzone right there for free, which is probably sufficient for a sizable part of the existing playerbase that was accustomed to spending $60 every fall.

For RotS I’d say the PG-13 rating is there for “Remember how Lucas has described Anakin turning into Darth Vader for the last 20 years, with the whole bit about losing a lightsaber battle to Obi-Wan and falling into a volcano? Yeahhhh, you see that on-screen, like, for a while. He doesn’t fall in a volcano so much as n…

“It’s really scary and it’s dark and subversive in ways you wouldn’t expect and it pushes the limits of what we can do with a PG-13 rating and I swear this isn’t just me regurgitating marketing talking points to sell a children’s movie to the 18-34 demographic.”

No clue, I remember reading the last chapter of Mockingjay and having a “That’s it? People like this? Why did I read this? I am like 30 years old.” moment. Never saw the movies.

Aside from Redman, the other standout episode in my memory was Devon Sawa’s, thanks to the extended cameo from Jason Schwartzman. They asked Schwartzman about doing an episode but was between places because he had been touring extensively with Phantom Planet, so he made a couple of pitches - “What if I was by myself…

His cousin.

The thing I noticed on a recent Youtube viewing: They didn’t blur his copious collection of porn DVDs at all. “It’s 480i, nobody’s gonna notice dozens of nipples!”

The latter, there was a prequel novel about a young Donald Sutherland’s Character.

It’s very confusing until you remember that Activision is now part of Microsoft, the company that named the Third XBox the XBox One.

One edit here: “...ever done, in all my days of thunder...”

I wouldn’t bet on that anymore, given how Georgia’s legislators have also crowed about being tired of “California ideals” being imported along with the productions and have threatened to cut off their tax credits. (And Southern Georgia is going to become a Florida refugee zone soon enough, so it’s not like it’s gonna…

Were I in charge of Disney, I would definitely consider this a great opportunity to begin exploring moving my company’s tentpole theme park to a new location. I’d start by looking for a state that is slightly less likely to become permanently flooded at some point in the next 25 years.

Everything about pro wrestling is really weird in terms of TV deals - it commands a steady, sizable audience (And Dynamite has demonstrated solid year-over-year growth, even with the network move) but it also has a weird stigma because it’s not selling the “right” kind of ads. For example, TNT spent big money for the…

Scrimped and saved all those ad dollars from Love It or List It marathons from the last decade.

Yeah that’s where I’m watching it

Oh yeah, I think a “magic lucha” movie with no baggage has the potential to be great. But, again, this is Sony desperately trying to cobble together an ersatz MCU of their own using a handful of interesting Spider-Man-adjacent characters and the dozens of Marvel D-listers they have the rights to. We know they’re…

Ah, the classic media move of “Now that the new execs are in place, we can’t let anything successful from the old guard continue to prosper, burn it all down.”

El Muerto isn’t a well-known hero within the Marvel universe, but then again, it’s not like Morbius was widely known, either.

Doing Sony’s job of yelling “MARVEL!” as loudly as possible and hoping that means instant success.
